Implementation of Trac Recruitment System

August 11, 2020

A new recruitment system, known as Trac is being implemented within our Trust. It is a major project driven by the People and OD directorate to streamline the recruitment experience for candidates and managers alike.

The system is already in use in over 180 UK NHS Trusts, all of whom have seen huge benefits and positive improvements in their time to hire. This is a system that has been developed specifically to meet the needs of NHS organisations.

The Trac system is an interface system that links in with NHS Jobs, the Electronic Staff Record and the Disclosure & Barring Service. Whilst applicants will still apply for posts via the NHS Jobs system, all of the processing of the initial vacancy, through to the short-listing, recruitment and appointment phases will be managed via the Trac system.

Implementation Dates

The implementation of Trac has begun today, 11th August 2020 and so managers may begin receiving email notifications. Please bear with the Recruitment team during the transition period and further information and training will be provided soon. The aim is for managers to start using the Trac system independently for all recruitment from September 2020.

Further Information

Further information on the Trac implementation within SWB, including details of training will be communicated to managers over the next few weeks.
